                         TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
 
         CHAPTER 45--URBAN PARK AND RECREATION RECOVERY PROGRAM
 
Sec. 2501. Congressional findings

    The Congress finds that--
        (a) the quality of life in urban areas is closely related to the 
    availability of fully functional park and recreation systems 
    including land, facilities, and service programs;
        (b) residents of cities need close-to-home recreational 
    opportunities that are adequate to specialized urban demands, with 
    parks and facilities properly located, developed, and well 
    maintained;
        (c) the greatest recreational deficiencies with respect to land, 
    facilities, and programs are found in many large cities, especially 
    at the neighborhood level;
        (d) inadequate financing of urban recreation programs due to 
    fiscal difficulties in many large cities has led to the 
    deterioration of facilities, nonavailability of recreation services, 
    and an inability to adapt recreational programs to changing 
    circumstances; and
        (e) there is no existing Federal assistance program which fully 
    addresses the needs for physical rehabilitation and revitalization 
    of these park and recreation systems.
